Nikola Pekovic, Karl-Anthony Towns, Gorgui Dieng, Jordan Hill, Kevin Garnett, Nemanja Bjelica, Adreian Payne and Cole Aldrich are all listed at 6’10” or taller and they are all have guaranteed contracts on the Minnesota Timberwolves this season.
Height and positional distinction don’t always perfectly correlate, but using more than half of the 15-man roster on players who can loosely be described as bigs creates some confusion about what Tom Thibodeau’s front court rotation will look like.
The safest assumption, of course, is that Karl-Anthony Towns will be playing at least the 32 minutes per game he played last year.
